Bloodwork as of 2026

Gyno as of 2022

I'm 6'1 and 195lbs

I've been lifting for 5 years now.

Initially I just wanted abs. I was around 185lbs and cut down to 165lbs. I was lifting at home. I ate 1500 calories, and walked 10k steps daily. Pretty bad mistake. I got no abs, just super skinny. Icing on the cake, I still had these puffy nipples that would stick through my shirt. Got a scan around 2022 and found out I had gyno from puberty.

I was also losing my hair. My dad had a norwood 6 by 26 years old. To avoid the slaphead curse I started finasteride for 2 years. I think it made the gyno worse but at least I wasn't bald.

In 2024 I bulked up from 165 to 210lbs. At 210lbs I felt horrible. I also switched from Fin to Dutasteride. Dutasteride actually reduced a lot of the sexual issues like ED and watery sperm. The only issue was that the libido stayed low but I'd rather be dickless than bald.

Currently working on cutting weight. I've moved down from 210lbs to 195lbs.

Here's where it gets a bit stupid. I tried Anavar for a month just to see how my body would respond. I adjusted my doses weekly at 20/30/40/20.

Honestly went a lot better than I expected. I felt a lot more energy. Felt a lot less tired. I felt motivated in my day to day as well. Lifts were better, my body looked fuller. I did have temporary shedding in week 4 but it reversed within 3-4 months.

I wanted to know where I stand bloodwork wise with running a simple test ester for 8-12 weeks. I was thinking since I responded well to Anavar, I'd be okay with running 200/250mg. I'd probably adjust my dose of Duasteride do daily instead of every other day to minimize the hair loss and keep Nolvodex handy for the gyno.

General thoughts on the bloodwork, and cycle would be appreciated.
